Early on Sunday morning of last week, Milton H. Andrews of Burnside township, northeast of town, up towards Lehigh, suddenly passed away from heart failure, taking away one more of the early pioneers of the Lehigh community. He was born near Columbus, Ohio, July 12, 1850, being 71 years, 11 months, 28 days of age at his death.
When two years of age, he came with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Hiram Andrews, to Mahaska County, IA. and from there to Lehigh, or "Tyson's Mill" it was then called, in 1866. On March 19, 1874, he was united in marriage to Miss Lilly J. Dale of Lehigh. Six children were born of their union, all passing away in infancy except one son, Walter, who together with the bereaved wife survives to mourn his passing. He also leaves a sister, Mrs. Libby Allen of Richland Center, Wisconsin.
His funeral services were held from the home Tuesday afternoon of last week. Rev. W. H. Welch of the Lehigh M. E. Church officiating, and his remains were laid to rest in Oak Grove cemetery near Lehigh. It was the writer's privilege to have known Mr. Andrews practically all of our life. Our families were usually members of the same pioneer circle of friends, and he was one of the active young men of that community in our childhood. He loved his associates, and always valued the friends of his active life. His happiest moments were often spent in visiting with those who like him had passed through the privations of pioneer life, and lived to enjoy the fruits of their toil and sacrifice. A successful farmer, he lived up to the best methods for the development of his place, and prospered by his industry and forethought. Respected by all who knew him, he leaves a host of friends in every generation through which life permitted him to pass, and their sympathy is with the widow and the son in their hour of bereavement.
